Halifax dispatch. 1t says that Newfoundland
owns her fisheries and will brook no intcr-

pay the slightest heed to French or American
interests. A London dispatch says that Sir
Henry Holland, Colonial Secretary, has sent a
dispatch to the Governor of Newfoundland in
forming him that the Home Government does
not feel justified in dsregarding the strong
protests of France, and is therefore unable to
allow the bill passed by the Newfoundland
LEGISLATURE in relation to the fisheries to

Mobile dispatches give some details
of the burning of the steamer Gardner, on the
Tombigbee River, by which twenty human
lives were sacrificed:
The fire was discovered in balo of cotton by
Capt Stone. A negro deck hand, in throwing
water on the burning BALE set his clothes afire
setting fire to cotton bales, and in few mo-
ments the boat was in flames. She was in
midstream aud in motion. The pilots were
driven from the wheel, and the crew and passen-
gers jumped overheard. 1t is not thought that
more than one or two were burned. Capt.
Stone saved himself by swimming ashore.
The steamer Tally was behind the Gardner
waiting to pass. AS soon as the flames broke
out the Tally lowered her boats and threw over
bales, seed sacks, and planks to help the poo
pie who we're jumping from the Gardner. The
heat was SO intense that the Tally did not dare
to go near, but her boats picked up q number
of people. When the fire broke out the
backed, and bells were rung for going ahead,
but the engineers were driven from their post
by the flames, and the boat dritted into
the woods on the opposite side from the
place whore there was practicable landing.
Pilot w. H. Wilson remained in the pilot house
until he found that his signals were not obeyed
and that the flames were licking the side of the
pilot house, whom he fed for his life. He is
much praised for his heroism. The cabin-boy
of the Tally, named Barber, colored, performed
heroic deeds, saving five lives by swimming
ashore with those in the water. The screams
Of those on the boat were heartrending. Mrs.
w. T. Rembert threw one child into the water,
her husband taking the other two. Then she
jumped in. All but her husband were lost

THE INDUSTRIAL OUTLOOK

Cardinal Gibbons favorable report
to Pope Leo as to tho aims and standing of
the Knights of Labor, set forth in cable dis
patches from Rome, was received with much
rejoicing by the Knights in this country, says
New York special 1t had been thought by
many of the leading Knights that the McGlynn
controversy and the attacks made by Henry
George on the church would have prejudiced
the authorities at Rome against the order, and
this fear was aggravated by the fact that
Cardinal Taschereau, who sailed in company
with the American Cardinal, had announced his
intention of endeavoring to influence Rome,
through it, in his fight with the Canadian
knights. The position taken by Cardinal Glib
bons, the knights say, will settle the whole
matter. He is an especial favorite with the
Pope, and his advice as to the treatment of any
matter in which the United States is concerned
will, it is declared be taken as it is given. In
addition, Bishop Keane of Richmond and
Bishop Ireland of St Paul, who are both
friendly to the knights, and who are recog-
nized at Rome as representing the more pro-
gressive element in the American hierarchy,
are with Cardinal Gibbons TO support him in
the position which he takes.
The order issued by the knights OF
Labor compelling all cigar makers belonging
to that organization to withdraw from the In

Dirt on the Mind.

"Recollections of my Mother" by Su-
san T. Lesley, gives an interesting
picture CT life in Northampton fifty
years ago. The mother was Mrs. Ly-
man, famous for her hospitality and
her devotion to reading. Here is a
suggestive bit for housekeepers; zone
day friend came in who had just Wis
tied Mrs. -, who was one of the ex-
quisite kousekeepers. She began to
tell my mother about the perfect con-
dition of that house from garrett to Gel
lar, and rang the changes on the bright
ness of the brasses, the admirable shine
of the glass and silver, the entire alb
sence of dust on every carpet. My
mother stood it Just as long as she could,
though fdgeting uneasily in her chair.
Then she exclaimed: Il think Mrs. -
is the d rtiest person 1 ever saw in my
lifep ooh, Mrs. Lyman, what can you
mean 2 cried the friend. What l say
is true said my mother, bringing down
her hand with much force on the table.
From the rising of the sun to the going
down of the same that woman's mind is
on dirt, the live l,ng day. Now, 1
would rather see more of it on the carpet
and less of it on her mind. "-BoSto1e

Indian Consumption.

OF the present destroyers of the In
dams, according to DIR. Washington
Matthews, the chief is consumption.
Census returns show that, while the
death-rate among Europeans is 17.74
per thousand, and that among Africans
is 17.2s, the rate among the Indians is
no less than 1916, and that, while
among the whites 166 deaths in the
thousand are from consumption, and
among the negroes 1S6, there are 2SG
among the Indians. The influence OF
civilization has greatly increased the
consumption rate among the Indians,
the effect seeming to be partly due to
change of diet and partly to causes not
vet understood.

The advance in price OF Western lands, the
increased severity of Northern winters, and
the consequent high price of fuel, has turned
the attention of farmers, home-seekers, and
others of delicate constitution to the mild eli
mate, cheap fuel, and low-priced lands Of the
South. Northern farmers, unacquainted with
sugar-cane and cotton growing have asked
tho question, Why cannot frult-growing and
raising be made to pay in the South?
To discuss these questions 80 important to
those seeking homes in the South, agricult-
ural conventions have been held OF late in
Tennessee, Mississippi, and louisiana, and it
has boon proven beyond doubt that diversi-
fed farming can be carried on in the South even
more profitably than in the North Lands are
being seeded down, creameries built, and
Northern methods Of farming quite generally
introduced. The result of all this has turned
the tide of emigration Southwark, and the
Illinois Central Railroad, the direct line be-
tween Chicago and New Orleans, and the di-
rect route to the principal markets of the
South, West and North, have shown their
confidence in the agricultural possibilities of
the South by naming the following conyen-
lent land points, viz: jackson, Tenn Aber-
